A Georgian man was detained in Donetsk's Kyivsky district for violating Ukrainian immigration rules One Georgian man has been detained in Donetsk for violating Ukrainian immigration rules, two others were held for improper behavior at a polling station.

A Georgian man was detained in Donetsk's Kyivsky district for violating Ukrainian immigration rules, Donetsk Region's Central Police Department spokesman Ihor Demin told Interfax.

"According to eyewitnesses, two Georgian men attempted to enter one of the polling stations [in Donetsk's Petrovsky district], started a row and tried to rip seals off the ballot boxes," Demin said. "After that they were taken to a local police station but refused to talk to law enforcers," the official said.

The Georgian nationals, who are not arrestees at the moment, are having a conversation with a Ukrainian security officer on the premises of the district police department, according to the election law enforcement headquarters for the Petrovsky District of Donetsk.

It is unclear whether the three Georgians in question were the ones who were detained as freelance correspondents working for Ukrainian media outlets, as was reported earlier by Ukrainian Interior Ministry's public safety chief Volodymyr Mayevskiy, or some other Georgians.
